Answer:

A. Predicting data that fall beyond a known data point

Explanation:

Extrapolating is unreliable because you are predicting data outside of the data range - anything could happen for the data to stop following the trend or pattern

Acetic acid weighs 60g contains 40% carbon, 6.67% hydrogen, and 55.33% oxygen. Calculate it’s molecular formula.

nignag [31]

C₂H₄O₂ is the molecular formula of acetic acid

Explanation:

Acetic acid have a molecular wight of 60 g/mol.

The correct mass percentages for acetic acid are 40% carbon, 6.67% hydrogen and 53.33 % oxygen.

To find the molecular formula knowing the elements mass percentages we use the following algorithm:

we divide each percentage by the atomic weight of the element

for carbon 40 / 12 = 3.33

for hydrogen 6.67 / 1 = 6.67

for oxygen 53.33 / 16 = 3.33

now we divide each value obtained by the smallest value, which is 3.33

for carbon 3.33 / 3.33 = 1

for hydrogen 6.67 / 3.33= 2

for oxygen 3.33 / 3.33 = 1

empirical formula for acetic acid is CH₂O

molecular formula for acetic acid is (CH₂O)ₓ

30x g/mol = 60 g/mol (given by the problem)

x = 2

so the molecular formula for acetic acid is C₂H₄O₂

Which element can expand its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons? which element can expand its valence shell

Anvisha [2.4K]

According to octet rule, atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.

However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.

In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet.

While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell.

Determine the standard enthalpy of formation in kJ/mol for NO given the following information about the formation of NO2 under s

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

90.3 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g) ∆H°rxn = –114.2 kJ

We can find the standard enthalpy of formation for NO using the following expression.

∆H°rxn = 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))

∆H°rxn = 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO(g)) - 1 mol × 0 kJ/mol

∆H°rxn = 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - 2 mol × ΔH°f(NO(g))

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = (2 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - ∆H°rxn) / 2 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = (2 mol × 33.2 kJ/mol + 114.2 kJ) / 2 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 90.3 kJ/mol

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

$_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}$

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
